233. Stay Strong, Stay Happy

Feelings & Co
About this episode

We all have that song that will force us to dance, sing and belt out the lyrics even on the worst days. Today, a listener named Megan tells us about her favorite songs that help on a bad day. 

You can listen to Megan’s playlist, Stay Strong, Stay Happy :) here

_

If you have anxiety, depression or any sense of the world around you, you know that not *everything* is going to be okay. In fact, many things aren’t okay and never will be! But instead of falling into the pit of despair, we’re bringing you a little OK for your day. Every weekday, we’ll bring you one okay thing to help you start, end or endure your day with the opposite of a doom scroll.

Created and hosted by Nora McInerny.
